Mileage for today: 28

Starting point is along Rt. 264 Alt. in Wilson, NC.
Stopping point is the McDonald's on Knightdale Blvd. in Knightdale.

Wakeie, wakeie, rise and shine.

Sleeping in a tent in the woods off to the side of the road isn't a bad as one might think.  
Of course it sucks about as bad one might think as well.  It rained pretty much all night
and I was warm and dry at sunrise, so it was successful.  I made it a point of texting my
Cousin Ed to let him know his borrowed tent and sleeping bag went great.  Cousin Ed
isn't really my cousin.  In fact, I'm not 100% sure he's anyone's cousin, but he's
everyone's Cousin Ed.

I was pretty worried about how the Achilles would be today and it was fairly good most of
the day, but did hurt enough to be pissed off at myself for not icing it the last few days
when I had the chance.

Because of the Achilles I rolled through the day easy.  Didn't push the pace and walked a
few tough hills.  Nothing else worth noting on today's run outside of being met by Chris
who works with the Durham Ronald McDonald House.  At the hotel, I hosed off and
chowed down on some Carolina BBQ and swigged down some Guinness . . .  oh yeah, I
iced down my damn Achilles.
